Illumination Foundation’s OC Chef’s Table Returns March 3rd, 2019

The 6th annual Illumination Foundation OC Chef’s Table returns this year on Sunday, March 3rd, 2019, with an unprecedented 40+ top chefs of Orange County and L.A. participating. Presented once again by the Disneyland® Resort, the Resort’s acclaimed Culinary Director Andrew Sutton will be hosting the visiting chefs for another year.

On one extraordinary evening each year, Orange County chefs prepare their favorite recipes tableside for hundreds of guests as everyone joins together with Illumination Foundation to break the cycle of homelessness. This year, OC Chef’s Table will be raising funds for Illumination Foundation’s Emergency Housing Program. The Foundation created one such home for families, The Theriault House which, to date, has served more than 280 families who are most vulnerable and living without shelter. Currently, Illumination Foundation has a wait list of 73 families that are living in motels, parks, beaches and cars. Another “Theriault House” is the focus of this year’s OC Chef’s Table fundraising endeavor in an effort to get these families permanently off the streets of Orange County.
